At Pleasant Valley Church, our journey is deeply rooted in the transformative grace of Jesus Christ. These four foundational beliefs not only guide us in our mission but also stand as the essence of our faith and practice. United in this purpose, our staff is wholeheartedly committed to serving our community, steadfastly drawing upon these anchors as our guiding principles in everything we do.
Jesus Christ is central to everything we do. We strive to place Him at the forefront of all our gatherings, teachings, and activities. Our goal is to lead people to encounter Jesus Christ in all His glory, teaching them to worship Him in every aspect of their lives and to follow His teachings faithfully.
We believe in the life-giving power of God's Word. Our commitment is to immerse our community in the Scriptures, encouraging personal and collective engagement with the Bible. We emphasize the importance of prayer and study, helping believers understand and apply God's truth in their daily lives.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the cornerstone of our faith. We focus on teaching and modeling the transformative power of the Gospel, which guides our actions, relationships, and worldview. Through the Gospel, we find the means for daily sanctification and the promise of eternal life.
Our hope is anchored in the return of Jesus Christ. We emphasize the importance of living a life of mission and service, using our gifts to glorify God and spread His love. We prepare our community for Christ's return by encouraging a life of active faith, service, and anticipation.

In a new season of motherhood, I find myself more aware of my weaknesses than ever before. I'm constantly in need of reminders that in my weakness, the Lord is strong. This devotional provides me with quick encouragement and scripture for the hard everyday moments.
The Burden Is Light: Liberating Your Life from the Tyranny of Performance and Success Jon Tyson's exploration of the reverse economy of the kingdom frees his readers from not only having to earn their salvation but also earn their sense of worth. Life is not meant to be a series of competitions or survival of the fittest, yet the dominant voices in our culture scream that we are only as valuable as our popularity, success, status or social recognition. This book offers another way forward. It shows readers the freedom of Jesus light and easy yoke as opposed to the tyrannical yoke of cultural approval or applause. This is a must-read for those exhausted from having to invent or perform their identity or conjure up a sense of destiny.
